They need to be telling you their needs and how they would like the app to work. They are the client. When you say you want to connect "businesses" to these agencies what do you mean? You want them to give money to these organizations? Food? Something else?

Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to get started or how to make these connections. I am an ultra beginner in this whole app development stuff. I would love to connect all these businesses with an easy to use app and get this program started so we can help feed as many people as possible in this town. l appreciate your time and your tech savvy advices.

The stated reason of "optimizing" for non-profits doesn't hold up. All they've done is *removed* options that were previously there. The other side of this seems to be to push these organizations into the cloud, but that doesn't really hold up either. The allotments for Azure, for instance, don't even come CLOSE to the value we received through these on-prem donations. Same with Office 365. Previously I was able to purchase Office Pro for about $40 and re-purchase every two years. Based on O365 non-profit discounts, I'm paying almost double that every two years. Meanwhile, they still offer Exchange std, which seems redundant. Further, there are some products they removed with either no cloud analogue, or the cloud costs are vastly higher. We purchased SQL enterprise for around $2k last year. Now that would cost us almost $8k with the "discounted" option. In Azure, a managed SQL instance would cost around $15k/year, which is 3x the Azure credit allotment. Another example is Visual Studio Enterprise, which was removed and has no cloud-equivalent (obviously). The cost for that has now increased from about $450 to $3200. This is ABSURD, Microsoft. Pure cash grab. If they really wanted to help non-profits, they'd leave the items with no cloud equivilent as they were and then increase the Azure/O365 allotments to compensate for the vastly higher licensing costs we're all now having to deal with. Edit: To make matters worse, I somehow never saw any notification of this. We've been planning a DR rollout at another office, which required a second copy of SQL Enterprise. Now that we're about to roll it out, I find out NOW that my licensing cost has quadrupled. Had i known earlier, I would have stocked up on licenses. Microsoft apparently didn't do a very good job of making sure this change was publicized very well.
